Results tagged “holiday” from Birmingham Mail - Bad Dad

WE'VE just returned from a two week break - and to be honest I'm glad to back in the office.

Spending time with a hormonal 15-year-old boy in a hotel in the searing heat is, take my word for it, absolute hell.

For starters they are NEVER EVER happy or contented and are ALWAYS hungry.

THE annual row took place in one of our news conferences this week - and as always it provoked strong views from different parties.

It centred, as always, around the greedy grasping holiday companies who revel in ripping off those people who decide to have children.

"You should've thought of that before you had kids," bleated the free and easy among our number who can disappear off to foreign shores at the drop of a hat.

We emerged bleary eyed from A&E at 2.30am after nurses armed with suction tubes managed to retrieve the item from Jess's lughole.

Memo to blog readers:
If you ever find yourself with an itchy ear after swimming, please refrain from alleviating the problem with the end of a plastic toothed hair brush.

And if you should scratch the itch in that way, try to mention it with a little more advance notice before a foreign holiday than just eight hours.

JUST back from a week's holiday abroad with all the usual rows, arguments over who packed what (or didn't), bickering on the plane and squabbles over spending money for the kids.

Through customs at Gatwick at midnight and got home shortly before 2am absolutely exhausted.

More tired than when I left, emotionally drained and still waiting for a 'thanks for the holiday dad'.

Why do we bother?
